KSL News: Police Charge Man in N.M. Jail with Murdering Brooke Wilbergerger: "PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A man being held on rape and kidnapping counts in New Mexico has been charged with the murder of a 19-year-old college student who disappeared more than a year ago, police said Tuesday."
How many times are we going to have to hear about the death of some innocent and precious person that was caused by someone with a criminal record and even past sexual crimes. The death penalty is used far too little. Hearing about this new development thismorning filled me with deep sorrow, frustration and anger.
I was already disturbed enough by this story:
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - Detailed accounts 8-year-old Shasta Groene gave police about the night her family was murdered, and the six-week ordeal she endured afterward, will likely provide prosecutors a powerful tool in their case against registered sex offender Joseph Edward Duncan III.
Update August 4th:
Now they think Duncan was responsible for a murder in 1997.
I'm starting to wonder how the people who once had these type of people in custody can live with themselves when something like this happens. Don't they feel at all responsible for not keeping them off the streets?
Update August 4th:
It's unbelieveable to me that the suspect in the Wilberger case was even on the streets!
This story details his criminal history, and that's just what they know he did! All the while, he was on "probation" or in other words, free on the streets and able to abuse, rape and murder.
Every person and person's family that he harmed while he should have been locked up or dead is owed an unpayable debt by those in the so called "justice system" that failed them.
I'd like to see them try to explain to the Wilbergers why it was more important to sentence this guy to probation rather than prison than it was to protect their daughter's life.
I cannot believe that we are so soft on criminals!
Update August 18th
"BTK serial killer Dennis Rader was ordered to serve 10 consecutive life terms Thursday..."
Execution would be going easy on this guy and he's not even going to get that!
Update August 31st
Grief Counselors on Hand at School After Classmate Run Down
Police say they are charging Jeremy Ryan Reed, who graduated from Hunter High a few years back, with automobile homicide. They say he was so intoxicated they could not book him last night. Witnesses who saw him leave the car after the crash have a similar description.
Scyler Smith, Witness: "He seemed drunk. You could tell, he stumbled as he was running."
Police say Reed is refusing to talk to them and has asked for an attorney, so they are still unsure of a possible motive or even if Reed knew the victim. The AP reports Reed has previous convictions for intoxication, lewdness and criminal mischief.

"As an american though I can not see the equality of taking away the rights of anyone, offendor or not. Would I want them living next door to me.... no! Would I want them around MY children *if I ever have any* no! Would I deny them their rights.... no because who says that is where the line will get drawn?"
Are you saying that we should never lock anyone up at any time? Maybe your meaning in saying "deny them their rights" isn't what I think it is. You sound like you're saying, "Who is anyone to say when someone else has done something wrong?" Do you believe in good and evil, right and wrong?
I'll admit that I go overboard on the whole punishment, retribution, justice thing. I'm glad that God's judgements in the end will be just and fair and that through Jesus Christ mercy is available. I will say that I do believe that there are crimes that merit the death penalty. I wrote this post in frustration over the fact that people who appear to be a known threat to society are still allowed out into society to commit the awful crimes that were reported. I want some solutions that make it so that the first time someone is caught for some things is also the last. The easiest solution, but perhaps not the most reasonable or fair, is to end their life. The next I guess would be to lock them up and throw away the key. One thing would seem clear, many of the criminals that were supposedly rehabilitated by our system were clearly not and they were still a threat when they were release back into our neighborhoods.
